Cordyceps

A mushroom full of energy

Cordyceps Sinensis is a mushroom that helps support energy and endurance by encouraging the natural production of ATP, the cells' main energy source, which contributes to better oxygen supply to the muscles. This helps reduce fatigue and supports both cognitive and physical performance.

Support for a balanced inflammatory response

Cordyceps is valued for the bioactive compounds specific to this mushroom, which may help support the body's natural inflammatory balance. By supporting a moderated response of pro-inflammatory cytokines, it can contribute to greater joint and muscle comfort, as well as to recovery after intense physical effort, promoting a better overall sense of wellbeing.

Not so relevant for strength training?

Cordyceps is frequently used by those who practise strength training.

Recent studies have shown that the effect of cordyceps on testosterone is not significant. Supplements such as Cistanche tubulosa or pine pollen are far more relevant for supporting testosterone and muscle gain compared with cordyceps.

Supports libido

Cordyceps (Sinensis Militaris) can help support libido through various active compounds that promote healthy blood circulation, contributing to greater vitality and well-functioning sexual health.

That said, it is considerably less effective than Muira puama or Cistanche tubulosa when it comes to libido.
